Maintaining a live topology is the foundation of everything we do at Tufin. To manage and secure complex networks, enterprises must have accurate, up-to-date visibility into how traffic moves across the environment.
Routers and switches are critical components of that visibility, yet finding and adding these devices typically requires manual input. This process is time consuming and leaves the network vulnerable due to human error.
Without continuous updates of these devices, topology maps quickly lose visibility into critical traffic paths, creating gaps that make troubleshooting, change planning, and segmentation less reliable. Simply put, you cannot protect what you cannot see.
That is why we introduced TOS Discovery, now fully integrated into the Tufin Orchestration Suite. TOS Discovery automatically discovers routers and switches across the network, reinforcing a complete, living topology map. It uses discovery technology based on AKIPS’ high-scale network monitoring capabilities, built to capture and map large environments quickly and reliably.
TLDR:
- What: Tufin has released TOS Discovery, enabling Tufin users to automatically discover and update routers and switches to enrich and complete the topology map.
- Technology foundation: Built on AKIPS’ scalable network monitoring technology for high-speed, real-time discovery.
- Current coverage: Starts with Cisco routers and switches, with plans to expand device support.
- Operational benefit: Guarantees real-time accurate topology visibility without manual device updates, improved troubleshooting, and reduced SLA’s due to automation enhancements.

Say goodbye to manual mapping
Accurate topology has always been critical to how Tufin helps teams manage and secure their networks. Until now, building that topology meant manually adding routers and switches into the system. It worked, but it relied on static inventory lists and diagrams that could quickly become outdated, leaving gaps that slowed down troubleshooting and change automation tasks.
TOS Discovery automatically finds routers and switches across your environment, keeping your topology live, accurate, and continuously updated. Now, you can troubleshoot faster by tracing broken paths immediately, plan network changes based on real traffic flows, validate segmentation enforcement, and mitigate vulnerabilities with complete communication visibility, all without manual intervention.
Getting the most out of Tufin with TOS Discovery
TOS Discovery takes real-time network visibility even further. Instead of relying on static diagrams or periodic manual updates, you gain a continuously enriched topology that reflects your environment minute by minute.
A live, complete topology transforms how you use Tufin to manage complex networks. Troubleshooting becomes faster, with instant analysis of blocked paths. Change planning gets easier, based on verified traffic flows. Segmentation moves forward with greater certainty, always aligned with the compliance initiatives of the business.
And it does more than speed up daily tasks. TOS Discovery strengthens key capabilities across the Tufin Orchestration Suite, from SecureTrack network troubleshooting to SecureChange workflows that depend on accurate topology, to segmentation and compliance projects.
Whether you are managing traditional firewalls, SD-WAN infrastructure, or public cloud environments, TOS Discovery keeps your topology current, actionable, and ready to support faster, safer operations at scale.
